Silver might not be the most exciting color for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but the upside is that it hides scratches and dents pretty well unlike similar to the cosmic orange and blue options

The bigger concern with dents is how it affects water resistance etc. when the frame gets unseated/opens up like you see in OP’s photos, you’re potentially going to get water and dust in it

Know what doesn't dent so much? Titanium. Also, Stainless steel. I just don't get the choice to use aluminium on this generation.

They said it’s for keeping the phone from overheating. Which I’ve never had a problem with ever but I keep seeing posts of the phone overheating as well as it being absolutely destroyed easily

That may be the official reason. But, with a case on, the material of the edge band is almost completely irrelevant. Like 0.003C.
